"The Classical Classroom"

"Koten Kyoshitsu (Classical Classroom)""Classical Classroom" by Tetsuzo Fuwa (2013 / Shinnihon shuppansya)

A record of a Marx study session held at the Japanese Communist Party from 2011 to 2012.
In the middle of this study session, the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident occurred.
Mr. Fuwa, who advocates materialism and dialectics, immediately connected the nuclear accident to Marx's theory in his explanation.
The study sessions were broadcast on YouTube, and Harada, who attended all sessions, was greatly influenced.

Harada was interested in Fuwa's next advice.

''In ''Capital'', unique units such as yards and pounds appear. If you calculate them one by one, you'll get tired of reading them. So you can skip those units''.
''Marx sometimes abbreviates proper nouns, such as ''The last war was...''Even if people at the time read it and knew what it meant, 100 years later they won't know what it's referring to. You can also skip this”.

how is it?

Just implementing these two pieces of advice should have made ''Capital'' easier to read.

Fuwa also cites ''comparing foreign reporting and Japanese reporting'' as an example of ''applying dialectics to everyday life''.
This is important for Japanese people because the Japanese mass media only reports on matters within Japan.

Mr. Fuwa also said that although he of course criticizes Stalin, ''we must correct Lenin's mistakes''.
For example, Lenin distinguished between "socialism" and "communism,"but Fuwa corrected him by saying, "Marx never said that".
He also reiterates that the Soviet and Chinese governments are not equal to Marx.
Mr. Fuwa explains Marx from a macroscopic perspective, adding many posthumous manuscripts by Marx and Engels that have since been discovered.

Harada created ''Limitless Paradise'' after meeting Marx and becoming interested in politics.

However, the school occupation that appears in ''Limitless Paradise'' is modeled after the actions of the New Left and the far left, and has nothing to do with Marx's theory of revolution.

It is conservative politicians and capitalists who have been promoting ''Marx is a violent revolution and an unfree society''.

Dictator Stalin advertised that ''the Soviet Union was a successful socialist country'', but Stalin had hardly read Marx.

It is time for the Japanese people to be freed from this propaganda, but in order to prevent this, conservative politicians and capitalists will continue to release huge amounts of entertainment information to the people.
